Being parents, we leave no stone unturned to give the best to our child. In the 21st century, the demand for private home tutors has been increasing lately in Singapore, all thanks to the chaos caused by severe competition and the extreme focus on education. Nowadays, the academic syllabus is becoming more competitive and difficult. This might be one of the reasons why private home tuition has been garnering a lot of attention. A private home tutor is effective in improving not only the academic grades, but also the practical understanding of your child over a wide range of subjects.  Now, let’s take a quick look at why home tuition is necessary for a Singapore primary school student.

Benefits of Private Home Tutoring

#1 One-to-One Teaching: Personalized Attention  

In schools, there are around 30-35 students in a class, and a single teacher is responsible for handling them all at the same time. Therefore, paying attention to each student becomes most challenging. Because of this, some students might feel ignored. Moreover, queries and doubts of some students may remain unclear and unresolved when the teacher is unable to provide some extra time after class. This is one of the reasons why some students start lagging in their classes, which can have a negative impact on their academic grades.

When a student is guided by a private home tutor, the entire focus is on the development of that student. The tutor can focus on the student and give complete attention at an individual level. Moreover, studying in your comfort zone has its own perks. The student can more easily gain practical knowledge of the subject and grasp concepts better when studying at home in familiar surroundings with a private tutor.

#2 Private home tutors teach at your child’s learning pace

This is one of chief reasons why the demand for private tutoring agencies has been increasing rapidly. Being a parent, you can recall the time when you were in school and faced difficulty in understanding complex subjects like trigonometry, calculus, and linear algebra and you always wished that someone could explain these to you at your learning pace. At school, the class proceeded at its own pace which was too fast for some students and too slow for others.

With the help of a private home tutor, the learner will benefit in the complex learning areas, since a home tutor can adjust the pace depending on the learning ability of a student, which simply means that learning efficiency will be maximized.  

#3 Besides teaching core subjects, a private tutor will also teach vital study skills

A good private tutor also teaches vital study skills including time management, focusing on titles and summarizing while skim reading, and strategies like paying close attention to what the teacher emphasizes before exam days to foresee the questions for exams and tests.  

#4 Private tutors empower students to learn using the technology

A good private tutor always encourages students to learn using the latest technology, such as educational apps and games, podcasts, videos, PowerPoint presentations and more.  There are hundreds of thousands of educational apps, podcasts and videos available on the Internet on a diverse range of topics.
